Ah, I've been looking for something like this for awhile now. Thanks so much! What are your terms of usage by the way?

EDIT: Hm, it shows undefined when I go to the item menu with Yanfly's Item Core script. I even tried it on a blank project with just Yanfly's Engine and Item Core script and got the same thing.

That's weird. uhm...
Can I see a screenshot of your Plugin Manager config?

 


EDIT: Rename the plugin file as    MSX_InventoryCategories.js  , I think this is the problem. I forgot to say on the How to sue section, sorry ^-^

Yep, that fixed it, thanks! In the future it might be a good idea to upload the plugin somewhere if it requires a specific name.

Edited first post.
Sorry again for the inconvenience

 

[Vassim74]

Sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. Would it be possible to make it so that you can categorize weapons and armors as well? It seems to only work with entries in the items tab.

[Vassim74]

Thanks! Will keep you updated if I find any more bugs.

 

[sol003]

Is it possible to have the categories separated if they have an overlap with each other between items, weapon and armor?


Example: Both weapon and armor have a category called Common, which are vendor-obtained items. A Longsword is a Common, but it will show up in either categories regardless if it was an armor or not.


Additionally, it appears that while selling, if you enter the category to sell something and cancel out, the category list is not disposed properly, even overlapping over the Item, Weapon and Armor selection which makes it look like the game froze.

• Game freeze caused by onSellCancel function.
  

 

[Vassim74]

Seems the plugin doesn't like Yanfly's Shop Menu Core, as I get this error when I try to sell.

I've pasted the error log from the console in the spoiler below if that helps.

@Vassim74Place the plugin below Yanfly's Engine plugins

Hi I really love this plugin so simple yet so need for simple customization. 


This may come of as bit rude however lines 139-141 which allow for the custom naming of categories are set up in a way that allows for only one word categories like "Food" or "Armor" but not for multi word categories like "Blacksmithing and Crafting".  I recommend rectifying that by simple changing the the array separator form " " to ", " this way multiple word categories can be made.

 

[Maidlyn]

I agree with Zarsla on the being able to make category names more than one word. Overall, nice plugin though!

Plugin Update v1.2

Changelog


Add:

• Change the way the categories are read by the plugin. Can now have category names with more than one word.
  

!!IMPORTANT NOTE!!


After the update of the plugin edit Item Categories, Weapon Categories & Armor Categories and replace the space with a comma.

 

[RhysO101]

Nice and simple plugin.


Looks like something I would use.

 

[Michael Caiola]

I love this plugin. The inventory screen has bothered me for a while now and I love the layout this gives.


I have a request. I'd like it so categories only show up if there are items in the inventory of that category. I have about 20 weapon types and the party will only start out with weapons from like 3 categories. Having 20 categories to sift through when there are only a few weapons would get really annoying for the player.

 

[VesperCire]

Nice plugin! Is there a way for Key Items to not be a sub-category in items?
